Congratulations are in order for Trivium bassist Paolo Gregoletto, who revealed the birth of his daughter, named Evelina earlier today on social media.
Paolo joked "New baby just dropped last night," said Gregoletto on Instagram. The caption accompanied a photo of the baby having her footprints taken, wearing an adorable bonnet hat.
Trivium frontman Matt Heafy offered Paolo a hearty congratulations in the comments. Heafy, who is a father himself to twins, will surely have advice for his Trivium bandmate.
Other congratulations in the comments came from Slayer/Exodus guitarist Gary Holt, The Black Dahlia Murder frontman Trevor Strnad, Cradle of Filth guitarist Richard Shaw, and Miss May I frontman Levi Benton.
From everybody here at Metal Injection, we wish nothing but health and happiness to the elder and younger Gregolettos.
